"We recommend Bergen Funeral Services/Hennessey Heights Funeral Home. Matt and Andrew were there for us every step of the way during this most difficult time. We had no idea what to do when crisis arose, and they answered our call, and walked us through every step, with confidence and compassion..."

Dan Gaffney

"I never really thought about funeral homes until I had the need to use one. I was lucky to be referred to Bergen. They are kind and empathetic and take care of all the nonsense you don't want to deal when you lose someone you love."

What is done before or after the cremation is up to the survivors, or up to you. You can relieve the burden of these decisions by pre-planning your arrangements in advance so that your wishes will be honored. Contrary to what some people believe, cremation does not limit choices, but, in fact, increases one’s options. It is a process which is performed in a respectful and dignified manner and can be memorialized in many ways.

A funeral service followed by cremation may be exactly the same as a funeral service followed by ground burial. They can be elaborate or simple and traditional or nontraditional.
